In a back and lay situation what is the most popular and efficient method. Do you green up all round for a regular small profit or green up to zero on the rest of the field for a bigger return on your selection

If you're £0,£0,£30 and your 30 is a 2/1 shot, then you're effectively betting £10 at 2/1 and paying commission as you could be £10/£10/£10.

If it is not correct to stake £10 at 2/1 in this situation, then you should be level.

Thanks for replying Lori.
Not sure I get this though. The commission will surely be the same percentage wise. ie £1.50 on the £30 and £0.50 on the £10 returns

The £10 is effectively a free bet being the difference between the back and lay odds that you've acheived and bearing no relation to one's original stake

Sorry yes, you're right of course. No coffee in the bloodstream yet and gave a form answer, my apologies.

You should still not encourage unneccessary variance though.

Going back to the 0/0/30 situation, even without my dumb error, would you voluntarily go and spend £9.50 in the zero casino?
